I basically read what everyone here is quick to say to laugh at him at having gone from emperor to broomsweep, but apparently he was actually an example of an excellent success at bringing him down to earth with his fellow countrymen. No one here ever mentions this aspect; I only discovered this when I got curious and looked up his wikipedia page.

    Do you think Coldplay’s Viva la Vida was about the Emporer of China? Here’s the first chorus:

    I used to rule the world

    Seas would rise when I gave the word

    Now in the morning, I sleep alone

    Sweep the streets I used to own

    soviet-hmm
